yea , i hate the fact that someone with a fucking lkaptop is more educated on medical issues than a doctor that spent 5-6 years learning madical stuff. annoys the shit out of me. serco can get to fuck.Sick notes no longer exist. They are now fit notes and not legally binding. I gave one to the DWP and they ignored it.
Yes, I do have a tendency to do this as well. I called it "spiral of doom" where you make one assumption after the other, each further from the start point and more of a stretch than the last, and end up feeling like the sky is falling in. Apparently it's a known thing and they call it catastrophising. You have to catch yourself and say to yourself that it may not be as you fear and if you can tell yourself you need more data you can stop the descent.I fear I do that too much... immediately think of the worst case scenario. And then I let it spiral out of control in my head.
I'm the same, a small problem all of a sudden can become a huge one as I think of the worst and as you have said it can quickly spiral right out of control and leave you feeling at your wits end.Geeeees.

Some of you guys deal with a hell of a lot.
I just want to say how grateful I am that you are all willing to talk about it. It puts my problems and 'down period' into perspective. ( Haven't been on here much because ive just lost the joy of shaving.... still do it coz i have to....) My wife and I were in tears the other night just because we thought that our 2.5 Yr old dog 'might' be going blind. That's what googling does to you. After a second visit to the vets he reassured us it was not going to be that serious but she did need some continued treatment.... possibly specialist care if it didn't clear up.

Thanks guys for continuing to share I really appreciate it.
